Still Can't Believe We Got IRod

I'm here in England, and -- Holy Samoli -- I hear we traded the Farnster for Irod, and the Redsocks are about to peddle Manny for Jason Bay?

I should come to England every week.

Hell, I should move here. I should buy a mansion next to Madonna, then just sit next to the pool and blog about Yankee victories.

We'll trade Chris Britton for Chase Utley, while the Redsocks trade Big Papi for some Milwaukee Brewer middle innings bobblehead.

I has to be that prayer, the one I said at Stonehenge yesterday. I'm telling you, it was religious, it was astral, it was like Roger Clemens stroking the CF monuments... yes, the strange woo-woo sound the Celtic winds made as they pinwheeled through the Mens Room santity airflow vents. It was as if the ghosts of England -- I'm talking about King Arthur and his wife, Bea -- were saying to me, "Jorge has contacted you from his unconscious state, while undergoing shoulder surgery, and he has a message: 'Everything will be OK... Catfish says hi... Don't trade Brett Gardner..." and some other stuff, really personal, which I don't feel like sharing, other than to say it included the coordinates for a good website for buying Viagra.

Gotta go. What a steal. Irod for Farn the Barn. Unbelievable.

Duque,

If we can trade Robbie Cano for Jeff Kent, we can field a team where no one is less than 36-41 years old.

We are definitely " built to win now." We have discounts at senior citizen centers. We have branded walkers and recliners. We are ready.

The next four games will be telling. The Angels are always Yankee killers and they signed the best first baseman in the game ....he is young, can hit, run and field.

He'll be a Yankee next year.

I'm only glad we aren't watching this series together at Deruyter. This way, we have a prayer.

Pudge can't move to block low pitches any more. But we are lucky to have him.

P.S. The Giants have a FA whose last name is Craphonso. Must be a cousin.

Do not swim in the Thames, and do not swim in that Superman thong bathing suit you bought at the Farmer's Market!!!

The Manny deal is now official, to the Dodgers, Bay to Boston, and 2 prospects from each team to the Pirates.

Looks like you should stay in England a bit longer. Yanks win this deal, with an assist from the Dodgers. Get this, Boston also had to pay $7 million to the Dodgers!
